About 10 to 20 Quakers attend our 10:30 Sunday Meeting for Worship. We welcome Friends who attend by Zoom also. Our worship is mostly silent, and lasts for an hour. It is ended when whoever is running the Zoom meeting shakes hands with the person nearest them. We usually then all shake hands with those near us. People may sit anywhere, and may speak when they feel deeply moved to do so. After 11:30, sometimes we discuss ideas raised during the Meeting. Then the Clerk gives notices about future events, and news of Friends.
The 'Quaker Faith and Practice' book gives very helpful information, and can be read online. There are also copies to borrow from our library along with other useful books that help us to deepen our faith.
Please ask to speak to any Quaker if you would like to know more, or if you are considering applying for membership.
We believe that each one of us is on our own spiritual journey; we are seekers. We hope to be inspired by our Quaker faith to live better lives in the world. Many Dorchester Quakers get involved in and support campaigns working for Peace, Economic Justice, Equality and Sustainability.
Everyone is welcome.
You don’t need to be a Quaker to attend our Meeting for Worship.
